Hi guys, First time poster so go easy! Not done any coding or web design in years however ive started doing simple logo desgins and other random work to build up a portfolio. Anyway!!! I have an idea for a design for my portfolio site but don't know how to go about coding it. My idea is to have one page completely full of thumbnails of my work, maybe 8 x 4 that when clicked it shows you the full screen image in the centre with a small description below. Im sure i saw a tutorial to do this but cant seem to find it. Thanks! Craig
If you're just looking to display your works, I would look into just creating a gallery and have it be your homepage. Coppermine comes to mind, and there are more. You just need to look and then get a host, domain, etc. If you need help, you can message me.
If you take a look at themeforest.net there are a lots of coded templates in the Portfolio section that do what you're trying to do. Get one of them you like & you should be able to customize the design with some CSS, use your logo etc. That in my opinion will be a quick way to get your portfolio gallery site up without having to dive deep into code right now.
You will be using jquery to use popup window. You can find a lot of jquery plugins that does what you need. Just google "Jquery image gallery plugins" and you will find a lot of them.
